as for multiplayer, cod2 isnt as bad as people make it out to be. sure i get into the odd laggy game, but lately ive been host and it doesnt lag at all
even when im not host, laggy games seem to only be about 1/4 of my time. if it lags quit and go into another.
i guarantee you youd enjoy cod2 more then q4. the controls are beter, and its just overall alot of fun

I too am a big fan of the original and am pretty disappointed with the new vesion.
Perfect Dark Zero is to Perfect Dark as Super Mario 2 is to Super Mario 1.

COD2 awesome,, online, I have the odd lag, nothing more than you would except from any live game. I don't know why people are complaing. 8 players sucks, but I then go on xLink Kai (for free) and play via system link 12 people ROCKS

1- Call of Duty 2
2 - PDz
3- Quake
Call of Duty is super intense
PDz Letdown from prior game
Quake nothing new to add from previous versions of Doom

I listened to Major Nelson's podcast where they interviewed a guy from the PDZ team, and did you notice he said that he would go in to multiplayer matches and tell people how to work the game... who would ever figure out that you could have dedicated chat channels, or that you can plot a waypoint on the map?

i did
. PDZ multi is awsome. very intense. also sniping is EXTREAMLY hard on it so some noob cant just pick up a sniper and get kills left and right with it. it takes practicePost by: KAGE360 on December 22, 2005, 11:12:00 AM
Quake 4 on the other hand is also great. havent played as much Q4 as i have CoD2 but what i have played the single player is fun and gives a good creapy tempo. the story is said to be actually pretty good, the AI for the most part is usual run at you shooting and clawing except for your teammates who show some pretty good AI, the graphics are the Doom 3 engine pushed pretty good with all the snazzy effects that the engine supports looking good. If you like past quakes and Dooms you will feel right at home with this game. as for the multiplayer, i havent played that at all but from what i have seen and read its mostly a updated port of Quake 3 arena.
as for PDZ, i wasnt even a fan of the original (felt it was held back by the N64's lack of power) but i enjoyed PDZ. for a xbox port the graphics keep up pretty good for a next gen title, i can see how people say too much of the game looks "shiny" but other then that its pretty good looking. character models may leave something to be desired sometimes but i think that has more to do with the art style and not a technical set back (character are composed of around 8k polys like the models in condemned) but in the end it should be remembered that this game isnt trying to be super realistic. the controls take a little time to come to grips with, the AI is nothing special what-so-ever, and the story can range from hokey to just OK. all of this is expected because the game isnt trying to be anything other then a good shooter which IMO it is. as for multiplayer, i dont know how some people were confused. yes with some modes it wasnt clear to me but all i had to do was ask someone in any game and they could tell me. mostly played TD and it was a blast. the levels were huge, the lag was kept to a minimum to non-existant, the weapons were balanced, and the action was fierce and fun.
hope any of this multi-game rant helps.
my order is as fallows for many reasons:
1. CoD2
2. TIE: Q4 and PDZ.
on a side note, if your into FPS, i would check out condemned. its gorgeous, fun, scary as hell, and a new take on FPS. i would put it up there as one of the best launch titles for sure with CoD2 and PGR3.
